This review-based research employs a traditional review methodology to investigate the role of dietary management in Diabetes Mellitus (DM), particularly Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Through a thematic analysis of the relevant literature, the study aims to synthesize findings related to dietary interventions, on diabetes management. The qualitative approach involves identifying and reporting patterns and themes within the selected studies, highlighting the importance of personalized dietary strategies and education in enhancing patient outcomes. Limitations of this review include the exclusion of non-English articles and studies unavailable in the selected databases. Additionally, the absence of quantitative meta-analysis restricts the generalizability of some findings. Nevertheless, this research underscores the critical need for tailored dietary approaches and comprehensive management strategies in the prevention and treatment of T2DM.
